Getting denied by your insurance company can be extremely frustrating. You pay insurance so that when you need medical treatment, you can get reimbursed!

If your insurer is refusing to reimburse you for something you believe they should be responsible for, don’t just sit and stew over it. Insurers who refuse to pay out for medical expenses covered under the policy may be acting an unlawful manner and subject to a “bad faith” lawsuit.

Imagine you’ve been in an accident where you were injured due to someone else’s negligence. Now you’re stuck dealing with insurance companies who are clearly trying to lowball you with a pay out that doesn’t even begin to cover the cost of your recovery.

You know you’re going to be dealing with this for days and months to come, repeatedly calling insurance adjusters, dealing with doctors, and generally just feeling helpless.

At first glance, the terms “loss of income” and “loss of earning capacity” might seem to describe the same thing. But in the field of personal injury law, these are actually two distinct types of damages that can occur after an accident or injury.

When people think of the costs associated with an accident, they usually think of the immediate damage. In a car accident, for example, there is physical damage done to your automobile by the crash. There also may be physical damage to you as well in the form of injuries.…

You can become injured when performing light, moderate, and intense types of exercises alike, including running, cycling, lifting weights, and even walking.

Now that Hurricane Irma has passed over Florida, residents are left with picking up the piece and getting to the hard task of recovery. For some, that may be limited to surviving until the power returns. For others, it could involve trying to fix or replace things that were lost or harmed in the storm.

Which begs the question: what kind of property damage have you sustained? What are the most common types of damage that you should watch out for?…

Holiday weekends are great. Having that extra day off from work and school means you can plan a last-minute vacation or road trip. Labor Day is an especially good time to get away, too, because the weather is usually perfect as summer comes to an end.

The problem with three-day weekends, however, is that everyone seems to want to take advantage of them, which means that more people are going to be on Florida roads trying to get to and from their destinations.…

Bars and advertisements for alcoholic products often encourage people to “drink responsibly,” but in some cases, the establishments or bartenders serving these drinks may be at least partially liable for a patron’s alcohol-related injury or death. Under certain circumstances, bars can—and should—be held responsible for over-serving patrons.

Many states have “dram shop” laws (named after an 18th century term for pubs or taverns), and Florida is no exception. Under Florida’s dram shop statute, anyone who knowingly sells or furnishes alcoholic beverages may be liable for the injury or damage caused by or affecting a patron who is: a.) under the age of 21, or b.) “habitually addicted to the use of any or all alcohol beverages.”
